Jazz 100

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 16 SANDERS THEATRE | 7PM

Jazz has long roots in New Orleans history, but the music was clearly defined once the term “jazz” took hold in 1916. Celebrity Series of Boston invites you to join us in a celebration of the birth of jazz while honoring the centennial birthdays of greats Thelonious Monk, Dizzy Gillespie, Ella Fitzgerald and Mongo Santamaria. Jazz 100 pivots on the musical direction of Danilo Pérez, former pianist for Dizzy Gillespie.
